Anthem Moonlight Ride to Celebrate 2015 UCI Road World Championships with Stars & Stripes Theme
Red, white and blue…Anthem Moonlight Ride wants YOU! As you may have heard the 2015 UCI Road World Championships is coming to Richmond this September. In support of our riders for Team USA the Moonlight Ride is celebrating all things patriotic! This year the Virginia Credit Union Costume & Tacky Light contest will have a special category…Stars & Stripes.
Post-Fourth of July is the perfect time to catch leftover decorations and Americana apparel on sale. We ventured to the Dollar Store to deck out our bike with as much flair as $9 could buy (which really ended up being a lot). The result was a star sparkled, red, white and blue tinseled masterpiece. From the bows on the spokes to the flags on the handle bars our bike clearly screamed “USA!”
We want to see a whole fleet of bikes supporting and welcoming our country’s riders to RVA, so checkout our tips and tricks for setting yourself up for a Stars & Stripes win!
- Use red, white and blue duct tape to create a patriotic pattern on your bike frame, t-shirt, or helmet.
- Tape mini flags to your seat spoke and handle bars.
- Decorate the front of your bike with a red, white, or blue bow (just make sure it’s not in the way of your white light)!
- Tape USA colored glow sticks to…everything.
- Wrap ribbons or streamers around your bike frame (just watch out for your wheels).
- Don a red, white, and blue cape!
- Stick glow in the dark stars to your helmet.
- Wear our country’s colors…shorts, shirt, even socks.
- Rock some America-hued beads and accessories.
